ESeryth thing was quiet in base-ba circles yes

torily for the opening game to morrow after

the directors because Jerry Denny failed to

Louis, stated that he had left Denny
in that city in excellent play
ing condition and good spirits He

mere just soon as he could get through with
that business. Denny further told him that ne
did not object to playing in Indianapolis, and
that his delay is simply owing to private matters
demanding his attention. He heard from
last evening through a telegram, in which he
stated that he would leave ST. Louis at once. The
eleven players here practiced on the ball
grounds yesterday forenoon. They did well,

disinterested means of Information. This, how
ever. does not seem TO have been the case In
deed. the circular of the Postmaster general
practically committed the whole subject Of re-
movals and appointments in his branch of the
service to the most Jealous and interested parti
sans. Such partisans were invited to prepare
charges against incumbents and we're told that
their affirmation OF personnel knowledge would
be sufficient But the circular was secret, and
there was no intimaton to the incumbents that
they should know the charges and be heard in
explanation. This was course from which the
correction Of offensive partisanship in small post
Offices could not be anticipated. As a means Of
preventing the promotion of personal and parti-
san ends it was, of course, futile.
"In the other branches Of the public service
there has been no specific announeeme Mt of
principles and methods to be observed 10 making
appointments and removals. But it may be as
sumed that they have not been essentially diff
ferent from those of the postofice. Thus in the
three internal revenue districts in Indiana there
were nnety-fve employees, OF whom all but three
have been replaced by successors OF the other
party. In the United States marshais Office,
the custom house at Indianapolis and the dis
trict attorneys office. very few persons are en-
ployed but the partisan change varies from 68
to leo per cent In the pension Office alone the
percentage Of incumbents retained falls below
I, so, but in that Office An additional force wholly
| selected from one party has been appointed,
! amounting to 58 per csut OF the whole number
| formerly employed. The character of these
| changes in Indiana, so far as concerns
reform, must be inferred from that
which have been thoroughly investigated. The
| offensive partisan activity Of the new incum-
bents ID established bv evidence quite con-
elusive as that which led to the removal OF their
predecessors There can bs no doubt of fragrant
disregard in Indiana OF the spirit and methods
OF civil-service reform. There has been sub.

not adhered inhexibly to q uniform policy, and
in many branches Of the service, and especially
in the States of Indiana and Maryland, its con-
duct has greatly disheartened many friends of
reform. In other parts OF the country, as in
the city of New York and in New England, its
chief appointments have been generally so ex-
cellent as to command public respect and con-
fdence. Indeed. the strong hold of the reform
upon the public mind is shown by nothing more
plainly than by the fact that popular opinion is
most favorable to the administration wherever
the administration has shown itself most faithful
to reform.
ION the other hand, the returns Of the late
elections show that where patronage was most
largely used to promote partisan ends, the losses
of the administration party have been largest.
This fact is especially illustrated in the State of
Indiana, where the result cannot be attributed
to Democratic disgust with the reform policy of
the administration. Ex-senator Mcdonald. who
is a strong opponent of reform, said just before
the elections: "Our State is thoroughly satisfied,
so far as federal patronage is concerned" Judge
Lewis Jordan said: why should there be any
dissatisfaction In Indiana when all the federal
Offices in the State, save q few postofices, have
been changedw In the State of which this could
be truly said, the vote of the administration
party has greatly declined. Two OF the six con-
gressioual districts held by that party were lost.
and In the remainder the maioritles were greatly
nifcant fact that in the congressional district
where the loss was greatest the Democratic can
didste WAS an open opponent Of reform. and had
thoroughly organized by patronage the
office holders in his district It is obvious
that whatever may have been the rea
son for abandoning the reform policy
in Indiana, the abandonment has beer
of no benefit to the party of the administration,
while elsewhere, as in Mr.. Wills's district in
kentucky. although the opposition to reform
prevented his renomination his majority in 1885,
of g. 1876 fell to a majority Of only 146, for the
anri-reform candidate, and in the district Of
North Carolina where Mr.. Cox's fidelity to re-

DIED..

PR1cE--Mrs. Nina A. Price (nee
Reesman) was born Jan. IL,
1860, and died May 16, 1887.
She was married to Ben. G.
Price May 20, 1888. She was the
mother of two children.
Her death is very severe blow
to all the members CT her family,
and the church feels that it sus-
tains a great loss. In her family
she was an affectionate daughter,
faithful wits and wise, warm
hearted mother. She was one Of
the few step-mothers who are able
to bestow the same attention and
care upon the foster children as
upon their own offspring. This is
indeed a most commendable quail
ity. In the church her Life was
consistent with the lofty demands
of the christian religion. If she
had faults / know not what they
were. She has gone home.

A Slick Fellow.

A short time since, William
Rankin was employed by Bethel
| Coulston Of Pettis township, to
ldrive team on the new railroad. He
started to the road with a load of
corn, but on arriving at Millard
he sold the corn and traded the
horses, getting about fifty dollars
to boot. He then put corn and
boot money in his pocket and
skipped. The parties to whom
he had traded the horses, had
their suspicious aroused by his
peculiar actions and telegraphed
to Moberly to have him arrested.
He was arrested and brought back
to Willard Friday evening, and in
stead of bringing him to Kirksville
as ordered by Atty, Johnston, they
took him across the river, think
ing to effect a compromise and
get the money, back. West of
the river they stopped at farm
house and asked permission to re-
main over night, which was grant
ted. At the supper table, Rankin
RECALLED his captors with fish
story and had them greatly in
terested. The evening was warm,
the windows were open, and the
screens had not yet been put up.
The gnats seemed to trouble him,
and during his talk he kept fight
ing them with his hand. Sudden
ly gnat seemed to fly into his
mouth, and being of very sensi-
tive nature it sickened him. He
arose from the table gagging vio-
lently, and continued to gag till
he got outside the door, when he
broke for the woods, and has not
been;seen since. The officers, who
were deputies, think it quite an
expensive gag" as their financial
loss is considerable. They are
now studying the effect of an
imaginary gnat on the gastric
regions of mans anatomy.
